Martha passes on what's on today's The Laura Flanders Show. How does Martha know this? Well, she's very smart. In fact, she's smart enough to sign up for e-mail alerts at The Laura Flanders Show. (Rod is signed up for the Democracy Now! daily digest which is how he's often able to pass on scheduled topics for upcoming programs.) So you can wait for Saturday to roll around and for me to get around to doing the Laura Flanders post or you could sign up for the e-mail alerts via The Laura Flanders Show .

In addition to the new Wal-Mart movie, Greenwald has directed many others. I know Kat's wanting to cross post, so I'll just list two of my favorites: The Burning Bed (starring Farrah Fawcett, of course) and Unconstitutional: The War On Our Civil Liberties (which was sponsored by the ACLU). (I'm sure Kat's planning to list at least one movie besides Greenwald's latest.)

REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM Reviewing the legal standard by which courts consider abortion restrictions and whether laws regulating abortion must protect women's health.Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood et al. began in 2003 as a challenge to a New Hampshire law restricting teenagers' access to abortion. The law requires doctors to notify a parent at least 48 hours before performing an abortion for a teenager. The law includes no exception for medical emergencies.In reviewing this case, the Supreme Court will consider two questions: one, must an abortion restriction, not just New Hampshire's, include a medical emergency exception, and two, can doctors and women continue to challenge dangerous abortion restrictions and ask the courts to strike them down before they can harm women?

At that page, there are a number of links their, timeline, legal briefs, a video with Jennifer Dalven discussing the case and more.

About Me

We do not open attachments. Stop e-mailing them. Threats and abusive e-mail are not covered by any privacy rule. This isn't to the reporters at a certain paper (keep 'em coming, they are funny). This is for the likes of failed comics who think they can threaten via e-mails and then whine, "E-mails are supposed to be private." E-mail threats will be turned over to the FBI and they will be noted here with the names and anything I feel like quoting.
This also applies to anyone writing to complain about a friend of mine. That's not why the public account exists.
